You can get by without one, but most parents who are setting up a nursery do purchase a changing table. Changing tables are very convenient as they provide a place where you can not only change the baby but place changing supplies so that they’re be easily accessible. You need to have dressers large enough to accommodate the baby’s clothing and outfits. If the space allows, a cozy chair is a nice addition to the nursery and is perfect for late night feedings.

Quality bedding is essential for the infant’s crib, and can be found both online and at baby themed retail stores. Crib bedding makes sense to buy over the Internet, because physical stores can only carry so many sets of bedding for customers to see. You need to keep safety in mind when you buy baby bedding, so any sheets that you buy need to fit tightly on the mattress to avoid choking; avoid pillows and heavy quilts in the crib. Typically bedding for infants comes with a fitted sheet for the mattress and a loose sheet to cover the baby. It is a good idea to choose natural fibers that will not harm your child.
